External Monitor Suggestions (19"-22") for MacBook (Santa Rosa,GMA X3100)

Man! I am loving this new macbook, working with Logic Studio.
Any External Monitor Suggestions (19"-22")?
Looking for a reliable monitor at a good price.
thanks in advance!

I'm using a Samsung 19 inch SyncMaster 940BW digital/analog wide screen monitor. It comes with both a DVI and a VGA cable. I am using it with a Mini DVI to DVI cable and getting a great digital picture out. It also was good price.

  • Working on an external monitor as well as the macbook screen

    Hello,
    When working on an external monitor as well as the macbook screen is there anyway you can have the top bar (with file, edit ect) on the second monitor also?
    Im using a macbook with mountain lion if that helps.
    Many thanks,
    Chris

    Yes.
    System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement Tab
    Then one of the monitors should be displaying this screen:
    You can put your cursor on that white bar (shown on the blue box to the left) and drag it over to the right if that is where you want the menu bar.
    I have mine set up here with my external monitor to the left and the MBPro to the right with my Menu Bar on my external screen as shown by the white bar being on top of the left blue square above.
    Hope this helps.
    Update:
    I misread your question I believe.
    If you want the menu bar to be on BOTH screens at the same time you need to have Mirror Displays checked so that the same image is on both screens. That is the only way.

  • Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

    Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

    You can pickup any 1TB USB powered drive for about $100 at just about any local office supply store.
    It comes formatted FAT32 (MSDOS) for reading by OS X and Windows PC's.
    However if your files sizes are going to be larger than 4GB in size (like video tends to be) then your going to need to select the drive in OS X's Disk utility (in the Applicaitons > Utilities folder) and format the drive exFAT instead.
    exFAT is a drive format that 10.6.5 and later Mac's, Windows Vista and 7 machines can read just fine. XP machines need a free exFAT drive install from Microsoft.
    Do backup the 1TB to another 1TB drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or another backkup utility because 1TB is a lot of data to lose on a $100 drive.
    I don't advise the "port powered" USB drive as these tend to have power issues and with 1TB of data on it, very risky. Use a powered drive if you can all help it.

  • I've connected my external monitor (LG) to my new Macbook Pro 15" laptop, using the adaptor for VGA...the display now has a large black bar along the left side.  No adjustment on the monitor will fix it, no "options" on System Prefs either...any ideas?

    I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro, and connected it ot my external monitor (24" LG HD) using an Apple VGA adaptor.  The only resolution that looks good is the 1920 x 1080, but the image does not entirely fill the screen.  There is a large black gap on the left side of the screen now.  It worked fine with my "last generation" Macbook Pro...no adjustment on the monitor will help, and cannot find any System Setting in displays such as "options" or widescreen setting.  I've gone to the LG site, but no "Mac" related tech support issues come up...no forum here seems to deal with this particular issue either...any ideas?

    I have the same thing but with a 23 inch HP, worked fine with my MBP 13 from 2009 but the 2011 2.4 i5 does the exact same thing as yours!
    Very confused and hoping that some one else can help.
    Thanks

  • External monitor resolution in Vista on MacBook Pro

    I am running Vista Ultimate on a MacBook Pro. I have a Dell 24" external monitor plugged in, which supports a top resolution of 1920 x 1200. But Vista thinks it's a generic non-PnP monitor with a top resolution of 1024 x 768. I have installed the Windows drivers from my Leopard disk, but neither the Vista Displays control panel nor the nVidia software think the resolution of this monitor can go any higher. I tried looking on nVidia's site for newer drivers, but they said for the M series video cards to go to the computer manufacturer for drivers because they modify them for power consumption and other special needs.

    I found the solution.
    Go here:
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17701
    Click on Driver to download it.
    Extract it
    Go to
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17701 again
    Click on Modded INF to download it.
    Copy it to the extracted folder.
    Run setup.exe
    You now have full control over your nvidia card. Which also means you can plug in external monitors
    Tested on Macbook pro 15" with nvidia 8600M GT.

  • HT3131 how can i connect 2 external monitors(VGA) to my 2007 macbook pro

    I would like to use 2 external monitors simultaneously with my clamshell closed. I have external keyboard and mouse but need to know how to and what to buy in order to achieve this.....havent found anything straight forward on apple site, like a vga dual monitor splitter, so am in need of some advice on how to do this please!

    Thanks for the reply. Haven't gotten anything as yet. Just that I burned out my older PowerBook using it as a primary screen w/ a secondary 20" monitor. Would be nice if the MacBooks could be used as a CPU only, connect 2 different monitors, and use the LCD screen when portability is needed. But I suppose that is why Apple makes different types of computers. I know I can rig the video SCSI cable to bypass to LCD screen and use the other built-in monitor. But there goes the warentee and any kind of AppleCare... not that I have ever used it, (until a day after it has expired!)
    But thanks for the feedback. Your reply is what I expected. Being that I am a mercenary graphic designer and need to be able to work whenever, and where-ever I need to, the MacPro is not my hardware of choice. As well, I don't have $4000 in my budget. But man do those machines rock! Just think of what NASA could have done with one of those in 1969 when we were going to the moon! But now that the U.S. has decided that manned space travel and even scientific space exploration is not worthy of having a budget, the MacPros are religated to creating new episodes of Jersey Shores!
    Thanks again for your feedback!

  • Can't connect external monitor to Windows 7 bootcamp Macbook Pro 15 - ATI 6770

    I recently puchased a Macbook pro 15 in 2012.  I have bootcamp set up and am running windows 7 home on the bootcamp partition.  When in windows I am unable to use an external monitor or overhead projector.  I have updated all of the ATI drivers and have fiddled with screen resolutions and display refresh rates to no avail.  I am using a cheapo mini displayport to VGA adapter which I have confirmed works while I am using the mac side of the machine. 
    Unfortunately I have to use windows while at work and using a projector to display data is essential.
    I am out of ideas at this point --  Help - - Please!!

    I was hoping some of the multi/monitor people would show up and help you but I guess they missed it.
    Have you gone into the Properties of the video drivers (via the Device Manager) and let it Update Driver either through the internet or migrate to the newer Boot Camp video drivers you recently downloaded?
    The only other thing I can suggest is to completely delete the video drivers then reinstall them manually either through the Programs and Features control panel or in the Device Manager/ Video drivers and see if it "takes".
    Don't forget you do have an Apple Software Updater in Windows also. It updates the Windows support software from Apple. (Boot Camp)
    Sorry I can't help more........

  • Getting an Acer external monitor to work with a MacBook Pro

    I just made the switch from PC to Mac and while I'm excited I'm having a few growing pains. Here's one thing I'm trying to figure out.
    Both at home and at the office I have external monitors configured. These worked well with the PC but I having some problems with the Mac. I get the screens to work together fine (i.e. I can drag things from the laptop screen to the external monitor). However, the resolution on the external monitor is grainy. I've tried all the resolution setting and can't get it to work any better.
    The Mac is a MacBook Pro with a 15.4" screen and the external monitor is an Acer AL2216Wbd.

    two possibilities>
    1. you're using analog cable to connect to external display (via dvi to vga adapter-but that is not the case obviously, because otherwise you could set the ref. rate for 60 or 75Hz - now its greyed out) anyway, when I used this set up, I noticed huge degradation of displaying quality. kinda washed out and blurred. but not grain at all
    2. but what is more presumable in your case, you're using photo background provided by apple...these pictures are grainy by themselve. and when you extend your desktop from 15" to 20" it's clear that you notice it, all the more, if the external is not widescreen, therefore background image has to be stretched and cropped even more, therefore the grain is even bigger. This is my personal experience.
    try to test it. put to the background for example some gradient made especially for that purpose in ill or ps. make two versions for both screens.
    thats all
    good luck

  • All opened applications crash when external monitor is attached in to MacBook Air 2013

    I experience crashes (automatical restarts) of all the applications when I attach external monitor. I have MacBook Air 13-inch mid 2013 and OS X 10.8.4 in spanish. The crashes are regular but not every time I attach monitor.
    Does anyone experience the same?
    Thanks,

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • W530, W7-64: external monitor is dark except for mouse pointer

    Hello,
    I'm starting to experience this problem. Initially I had no problems with using an external monitor, but now I cannot use it. When I switch to the external monitor, the screen is dark, except for the mouse pointer which moves correctly.. Anyone know the cause of this problem?
    Regards,
    bostjanv

    I have had same problems using NVIDA Q2000K when using Windows 8.  Try configuring with NVIDA instructions for multiple displays as follows: 
     ThinkPad W530       NVIDIA Quadro K1000M or NVIDIA Quadro K2000M           - Computer's analog VGA connector           - Docking Station's analog VGA connector           - Computer's DisplayPort connector           - Docking Station's DVI connector(s) or DisplayPort connector(s)
          Intel HD Graphics Family           - (Computer's LCD)
    DUAL ADAPTER CLONE
      Dual Adapter Clone is a technology where display output from one display   adapter is cloned to another display adapter. This feature is unique for   NVIDIA Optimus Technology starting from second generation Optimus technology.   The only difference between cross adapter clone and traditional clone is that   the former involves two display adapters while the latter involves only one.
    HOW TO CONFIGURE DUAL ADAPTER CLONE
      Dual Adapter Clone is only supported and be configured in NVIDIA Control Panel.   As an example, the procedure below describes the steps on how to configure the   dual adapter clone. Remember that the dual adapter clone involves two   different graphics devices, so the 'Display Topology' section above will give   you an idea which combinations can support dual adapter clone, otherwise, it   is considered as a traditional clone.
      The procedure below assumes to use the LCD and DisplayPort monitor connected   to the computer.   1. Attach a DisplayPort monitor to the computer.   2. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, and on the left pane, select 'Setup multiple      displays' under 'Display' tree.   3. On the right panel, under 'Select the display you want to use', check both      LCD and DisplayPort monitor.   4. Under 'Verify your display configuration', right click on either the LCD or      DisplayPort display icon.   5. Select 'Duplicate with 1 (use 2 as source)' then click Apply.
      Note: The Dual Adapter Clone can not be enabled by using the Windows display         control panel or the Intel's display control panel.
    Windows 8 also disabled my NVIDA Q2000K and I had to restore it.  I hope this was helpful.

  • Macbook Santa Rosa Keyboard Swap

    Hello i have on of the first macbooks that was put out a couple of years ago and i was wondering if i were to switch the keyboard for the new santa rosa would the keys be the same as my old keyboard meaning would i still have to press F5 in order to turn up the volume even though the button is now on F12?

    I don't believe it will work. The keyboards have different part numbers.

  • How to Force mac Thunderbolt External Display with Integrated GPU for Macbook Pro 2012?

    I have been getting GPU Panic whenever I use external Thunderbolt Display.
    Not sure whether this is software after(Mavericks) or hardware, if anybody could shed some light I would appreciate it.
    The Current Discrete GPU will only work for few seconds 10 sec max before it became blank and require you to force shutdown. This also happened even without external display Blank and GPU Panic upon restart. So I suspected either the discrete GPU failure or software in Mavericks.
    But at the moment I'm looking for workaround so I can use the intel intergrated GPU to use my Mac Thunderbolt External Display.
    Thank you in advance for any input.

    I have the same problem with an early 2013 macbook pro. gfxCardStatus ( http://gfx.io/ ) will allow you to force integrated and not do dynamic switching, however the external display still doesn't work.

  • Can't control the volume of speakers on external monitor using volume buttons on macbook keyboard

    The problem is exactly like this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3520 except the update is for an older operating system, (I'm using lion). I can't find a solution that works for lion.
    I am using a non-apple monitor connected by a thunderbolt to hdmi cable. the monitor has built in speakers.

    The keyboard buttons work only for the internal speakers and headphones/earbuds BECAUSE the headphones/earbuds don't have vol control on them, and the external has a knob.
    If you still have NO SOUND @ ALL, you need drivers/tech support
